Thomas Garnet
He was executed in London
for his catholic faith.
Priest murdered
“in the majesty of the law”
in a treacherous country.
Is this your tolerance,
making judgments
on human conscience.
“After ordination he wandered from place to place
to reduce souls which went astray
and were in error as to the knowledge
of the Catholic Church”.
In this whirl of persecution,
another Jesuit priest was murdered.
All his guilt,
was being a catholic priest.
